Happened around two o'clock and it seemed like the owl didn't fully leave the scene until daybreak.

It seems that Lefty, the white/fawn is the instigator. She was picking on one of the Blues, and another one of the white/fawns was trying to get Lefty to quit. Later Lefty picked a fight with one of the other fawn/whites, which had TWO fawn/whites fighting Lefty head on! It's noisy, and I am...

Eating lower on the food chain and sourcing local are some of the best ways to get healthier nutrition. Don't fall for fads!

They're 'cheeping' in the turner right now! I have another incubator without a turner in it, should I tranfer them?

Late Saturday afternoon she became startled when one of the other girls was returned to the brooder box with purple wrap. All the ducks were startled, actually, but she has stopped eating. She swam some and drank, will drink from the pen water station, but we are giving her electrolites...

Five days in with four ducks and three more coming mid-week. Picture of the babies in their box.

Been meaning to get a little garden help for quite some time; seven Indian Runners will be arriving on the 15th of June. Decided to go with ducks due to the reported robustness of ducks in wetter climates and the wife having an allergy to chicken eggs. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you...

Seems UPS violated thier own policy of confidentiality here: Massachusetts smokers are horrified by the state tax collectors, who acknowledge that they've obtained the names and addresses of dirtcheapcig.com customers but refuse to divulge their source. The two possible culprits: DirtCheap...
